Exhibiting May 4th – June 2nd, 2012 Diana Vestergaard / Aki Yamamoto
Painting the Cariboo
by Diana Vestergaard
From cowboys to moose, Barkerville to Lac La Hache and winter to summer, Diana Vestergaard has the Cariboo covered in her May Exhibition at the Station House Gallery. The show, entitled Landscape Painting in the Cariboo, feels like a Sunday drive on a dirt road through every season the Cariboo has to offer. Vestergaard’s paintings, done in a Classical Realist style reflect influences including Emily Carr, the Impressionists and the Group of Seven but with as incredibly romantic and wistful twist. Her philosophy, “To Be is Nature – to sense it – one becomes impregnated with its magnificence,” is clearly communicated through this body of work.
A Forest Falls
by Aki Yamamoto
In the upstairs gallery local artist, Aki Yamamoto will exhibit her exquisite woodblocks, monoprints, watercolours and relief carving. This similarly themed show A Forest Falls, could not be more different in execution. Aki’s focus is on a more serious side of the forest. Landscape Painting in the Cariboo will be exhibiting in the Main Gallery at the Station House in Williams Lake from May 4th to June 2nd, 2012.
